absorption unit
HB50
unit of equivalent sound absorption area of a surface, defined by reference to the acoustically completely absorptive (or non-reflective) surface of one square metre of open window
Absorption units equal the area of absorbing material multiplied by the sound absorption coefficient for the material. The absorption unit has replaced the non-metric unit ‘sabin’ except in the United States.
